NEW Periphery “The Price is Wrong”

Periphery, who recently announced the release of their fifth album, Periphery III: Select Difficulty (July 22, Sumerian Records), share the first music to be heard from the 11-song album as the DC-based band streams new song, “The Price is Wrong” (https://youtu.be/518uB9qnQdI).

“It’s like handing somebody a grenade,” guitar player Jake Bowen says of the song, which serves as the album opener. “It’s so in-your-face and brutal for us. It was a great way to start.”

“Every one of our albums has a nice long intro, and we were like, ‘Let’s kick this off with a drum fill and a pissed-off riff,’” laughs guitar player Misha Mansoor. “It’s something we haven’t done. It was fun.”

Periphery launch a U.S. tour, The Sonic Unrest tour presented by The Noise and sponsored by D’Addario and Guitar Center, on Aug. 4 in Raleigh, NC. Openers for the month-long trek include SikTh, Chon and Toothgrinder. Tickets are on-sale now with VIP packages, which feature a private meet and greet with the band as well as a limited edition, exclusive poster are available atwww.periphery.net.

Periphery’s most recent releases, the Juggernaut albums, debuted at #15 and #16 on Billboard’s Top Album chart. The conceptual releases were hailed by outlets for their modern take on prog;Rolling Stone dubbed the albums “a prog-metal opera,” Alternative Press said the release “ushers in new wave of heavy” and Outburn said the albums “most likely changed the face of modern progressive metal as we know it.”

The band will host a four-day, immersive summer camp dubbed the “Periphery Summer Jam” onJuly 25 to 29 at the Full Moon Resort in Big Indian, New York. Registration and further information can be found here: www.peripherysummerjam.com.
